Abstract

The authors report a case of an embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR) in an 18-month-old female infant who presented with gait imbalance and progressive left-sided weakness for 2 months. ETMR is a rare small round blue cell aggressive tumor of the central nervous system characterized by the amplification of the C19MC region on chromosome 19 (Chr19q13.42). This report in detail the clinical-radiologic and histopathological workup and diagnosis. Because ETMRs are newly described rare pediatric central nervous system tumors with only a few reported cases, we aim to document this typical case to add to the existing data on these tumors.
